Hi guys, first of all, sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian, however I'll start with my current config:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
CPU: FX-6300
Graphics: Gigabyte GTX760 OC windforce x3
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) g.skill ripjaws 1600 MHz
PSU: Corsair CX500

and now the problem, I've managed to get a stable OC of my FX-6300, at 4.2 GHz, with only a slight increase of the Vcore, but I noticed that every time I saved some settings in the bios, the pc would then reboot, but it manages to actually power on only at the second try, always failing the first try. I've read in the Gigabyte stiky post about the normal double boot, but mine is a bit different because this happens when the computer is completly powered off and I just turn it on too.
If I load the default settings then all is working fine, so it must be something with the oc I suppose, keep in mind that the oc seems stable, having passed some 20 hours under prime, and when it powers on I can use it without problems, no BSOD, no crashes, nothing.
I really can't figure out what it could be, it's not really a problem for me, I just want to be sure it won't hurt the mobo or cpu or whatever.

reached 1.4v and still got the problem, should I keep on increasing? Could the LLC play a role in this? Because I have these settings and I really don't know what to put, because a lot of them seem the same to me (normal, medium, standard? wtf gigabyte)

I'll try that and report back, however I was thinking the same thing, if I cannot manage to make it work properly, I'll just keep it this way, it's just 3 or 4 seconds more since I actually press the power button only once and then it goes automatically on then off and then on again, so not really a problem

Tried all settings for llc and still the same, the only thing is that now it's stopped doing it when I restart the computer, now it only does this fake boot when I power the pc on; well whatever, I think I'll just leave it as it is

I have exactly the same issue with this board and an OC'd fx 8350. Sometimes however, it would take 3 attempts to boot up instead of 2. I reset all the OC settings back to default, and I don't have the problem anymore. I would really like a fix for this aswell.

Well it's been more than a year now that I'm running with this rig, and actually no solutions have been found, but I neither had problems, so I guess it's of no significance.

P.S. there's a beta BIOS update, F2g, that I haven't tried yet, maybe it can solve this little problem

I flashed the bios to F2G some time ago and whilst it improved the mouse control in the UEFI, it didn't solve the weird double boot issue. It completely powers down for a few seconds on Windows restart or one touch of the ON button and then powers back up. I'm running it with an FX 8320 OCd to 4.0, but apparently, if you reset to defaults, the problem goes away. I'll try that again later.

If you have a rev1 and bios update didn't do the trick than you have to turn turbo clock on and set it to the same speed as your cpu clock. Gigabyte am3+ motherboards seem to have issues with turbo core.

Hi everybody, i have the real solution for the double-boot strange behaviour when you boot your 970 gigabyte.
I have the 970A-UD3p Rev 2.0 with the final BIOS FB.

Always have the of the double-boot when the CPB was disable.

The solution:
Set CPB Enable/Activated
Set the CPU multiplier and CPB Multiplier equals.
Set APM Disabled
LLC to Medium

That's all you anymore have the double-boot and you can do your manual overclock change the voltage and the multiplier.

Thanks everybody.
